CRCLIST 1.0
A File Maintainence Utility

LEGAL NOTICE:
CRCLIST is distributed as a FREE utility to the PC community. There is
no registration required to use it. Use as many copies as you need at any
time.
While CRCLIST is Free, it is a Copyrighted work by the author. You may not
re-compile, disassemble, or in any other way modify the program.
It may be, in fact we encourage you to, distribute the program to others.
Please be sure this DOC file is included.
We also request that you distribute the program in the original
authenticated ZIP archive.
The author accepts NO liability for your use of the program, you accept all
responsibility for its use. If it breaks, or breaks anything else, you own
all the pieces.
The only thing the author can guarentee is that it will take up space on
your drive, and that it did work when it left our system.
The author is not obligated to produce further versions of this program.
WHAT IT IS:
CRCLIST will check all files in the current directory, creating a CRC-16
value for each, and list the filenames with the CRC for each. The CRC is
written in a decimal format, a sample output is shown below.
Sample Output:
CRCLIST 1.0 (C)Copyright 1993, Rand Nowell - RaLin Enterprises
A FREE utility for You!
List for : C:\TP\PROJECT2
Generated : 6/4/1993
Current CRC-16 Values:
F i l e n a m e CRC-16
---------------------- ------
CRCLIST.BAK 21467
CRCLIST.DOC 50709
CRCLIST.EXE 52770
* End of List *
You can create this list, then periodicly run a new one and check the CRC
values for each file. If the CRC for a file has changed, then it's most
likely that the file has changed. This could be due to a number of reasons,
corruption, virus etc. You may find other ways to use it too.
HOW TO RUN:
The command line for CRCLIST is simple,
Syntax: CRCLIST <filespec> [ > outputfile ]
Filespec may be *.*, *.TXT, FileName etc.
Wildcards are supported.
You may re-direct the list output to a file by using the re-direction symbol
(>) this will also allow re-direction to the printer ie:
CRCLIST *.* > PRN will print a list of CRC's for all files in the current
directory.
The default is to list to the screen.
Which brings me to this: CRCLIST expects all files to be in the current
directory, you cannot generate a list for another directory. Perhaps in
another version.
Some examples of usage:
CRCLIST shows a short Help Screen
CRCLIST *.* List for all files to screen
CRCLIST *.* > DOSDIR.CRC List to file DOSDIR.CRC
There is no visual display, progress bar etc. to show that CRCLIST is
working, when output is re-directed. Code to do this sort of thing has been
left out to keep the file size small. If another version is released, then
this code may be added.
SUPPORT:
While this is a FREE program, I do support it. If you send netmail
requests for support you will be required to poll for your reply, usually
within 24 hours, unless I am out of town. If I am out when you call voice,
leave a message, and expect a COLLECT phone call.
COMMENTS:
Comments and sugestions are welcome! If you have a request for an addition
to the program, tell me. Feedback from the users is what will cause this to
be further developed. If there is no feedback, I will consider this release
sufficent to the purpose.

NOTE: Currently the BBS/Mailer share a voice line, so you need to use
a 4 second pause and the code 3322 to access them.
For most modems a comma (,) represents a two second pause, so use
two of them, then the code. A typical dialing string would look
like this: 510-651-0253,,3322
Thanks for trying CRCLIST!
